Abstract
In the city of Straubing geothermal heat will be obtained out of the Southern Germany Malm stone karst (about Warm water from one thermal well with a high capacity Us = 180 is available. The thermal water will be cooled down and reinjected by a pressure system to the same aquifer where it has been extracted from. The geothermal heat will be used for heating the thermal spa, the new city hall and the future big library well as other public buildings. Moreover the heat will be integrated to the existing close-range heating-network. In addition, part of the thermal water is used for bathing. This facility can be used economically due to this double usage.
